Lionsgate has confirmed that Johnny Depp is back on set for the film 'Day Drinker,' directed by Marc Webb. Depp, now 61, sports a full gray beard and appears unrecognizable with blue contact lenses. This marks his first role with a major distributor since 2018. The film involves Depp playing a mysterious guest on a yacht who befriends a bartender, with Penélope Cruz also starring. After facing significant turbulence in his career due to a public trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, which he won, Depp appears to be steadily re-establishing himself in Hollywood.
"Lionsgate announced Monday that production was underway on the Marc Webb-directed thriller 'Day Drinker' and shared a photo of Depp on set with a drink in his hand."
"Despite having starred in 'Jeanne du Barry' in 2023, this film signifies Depp's first major studio role since 2018's 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.'"
"Depp took a step back from Hollywood amid his highly publicized defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022, but has since returned."
"Although the jury mostly sided with Depp, Heard won one of her counterclaims and was awarded $2 million in damages, which all contributed to their subsequent settlement."
